Researchers develop a breathable ultrathin bendable electronic skin with a MicroLED array

Researchers from the University of Tokyo developed a new "electronic skin" - which is a breathable, ultra-thin flexible display that includes an on-skin electrode sensor, a wireless communication module and a 16 x 24 array of micro LEDs.

Such a device could be used to monitor health via vita sign reading, and transmit the information wireless to a smartphone.
